Faribault, Minn. — For a couple of dozen Minnesota women, playing basketball is just what the doctor ordered. The Faribault Hot Shots and the Wanamingo Bulldogs, the state’s two self-described “granny” basketball teams, will host two Iowa teams Saturday in Minnesota’s first granny tournament.

The women play for the love of the game, but they also take to the court to cope with the realities of aging.
